1090 Cash Allocated to Funds

Non-postingSince 2026.03
What it is
This object is used in centralized cash management to allocate pooled cash and investment balances from a central cash holding fund (commonly a designated clearing fund such as Fund 999) to the individual operating funds that legally own the cash. It represents fund attribution, not a separate bank account.
Accounting standard
This object is intended to support proper fund reporting without requiring each fund to directly post activity to physical bank account objects (e.g., 1000–1009), while maintaining a clear audit trail showing how pooled cash is distributed among funds.
Accounting note
Use this object only for allocation entries that distribute pooled cash to funds. It should be posted in tandem between the central pooled cash fund and each receiving fund.
Examples
Physical investment accounts remain in Fund 999 (e.g., LAIF object 1003). Allocation remains via 1090 so each fund still reflects its ownership interest.
Do not use for
Do not use as a physical bank account or A/P, A/R, or due to/from operating activity.
